Our team continually refines each project to match pace with an evolving media landscape and address the demands of increasingly dispersed productions. I look forward to guiding our global sales force through these exciting transitions and devising ways to best serve our clients' unique needs; our 4K pipeline is already in use, our VFX work recently won an Emmy and now we are starting to experiment with the viability of HDR, Glass noted.

I'm extremely happy and proud to be part of a company that not only has a great legacy but also remains on the forefront of technology. I love being able to offer clients the freedom to choose the medium and location that best fits their productions, without sacrificing quality or convenience, Melendez expressed.
